Their menu is seasonal but I overheard that this tart is this month and quiches are only on Saturday! I had a really lovely HAKUREI TURNIP, GOAT CHEESE GALETTE WITH AN EGG. Even though it's a very small space, they were so homey and inviting. They offered my galette for here and heated it for me with a plate, silverware and some water. Such a nice touch! And while BD baking is right around the corner with more seating -- I do feel that they fill a different niche and I mean I had a quiche here then went down to BD to get a chai and a loaf of bread for home.

We got a blueberry pie (freshly baked), an apple strudel and half a poppy seed strudel (both frozen). You can get the strudels either freshly baked or frozen to bake later; same with the pies, I suspect. The pie and apple strudel are the absolute best I've ever had, and I grew up with a grandma who made these desserts! The poppy seed strudel was also very good, but it has raisins, which is traditional, but I personally don't like very much. The apple strudel does not have raisins - yay! Gretchen does heritage baking, hence the desserts are not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. They are perfect!

We both got the Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and loved them! I could definitely taste the brown sugar and appreciated the right amount of ice and smooth espresso. It wasn't too strong and had the perfect sweet flavor. The staff was kind and our drinks came out quickly! The atmosphere was clean and there were plenty of seats if we had wanted to stay and chat or do work. I always appreciate having a variety of seating options. There are fabric benches that aren't pictured where we sat while we waited that were cozy. This elevated our hike and I will definitely be coming back!

You can find them by their distinctive sign of two little bakers carrying a giant rolling pin. Terry's Bakery features everything from super moist specialty cakes to scones, quiches and pies. Come on in and sample familiar wares fresh from the source. You can order cakes in advance by placing orders on their answering machine, I recommend you ask for a call back to confirm. They are open Thursday- Saturday mornings for browsing and buying. Parking is a pain but the trip is worth it.

Had samples of ice cream. Eventually, we went with one of their best sellers and another fun item. She got an Ice Cream Nacho with Mackinac Island Fudge. It was a very fun, a very interesting concept, and we enjoyed it. I ordered a lemon cheesecake shake with strawberry topping... it sounded so weird, but was amazing. We will be back!

Not gonna hold you - this place is AMAZING…read more I was SO tired of ice cream places that were ridiculously priced, stingy, and just not that great (regardless of the hype). Set to hunting down a new spot - and found this hidden gem. I can honestly report that I have no complaints about this place. None. And to date, I still can't believe I had previously never known of their existence. That "quiet excellence" has got to go, though; this place deserves to be in the spotlight. So - what I love about it (in the order encountered): - convenient location - great hours - accessible, ample, and free parking - very cute, very attractive, "fantasy land" old-fashioned-in-all-the-right-ways - shoppe, in design and decor (and name, I mean - it really does say it all) - some seating indoors and outdoors - very clean, organized, and well kept...no weird or bad smells (I notice things like that, lol) - consistently very welcoming, friendly, and respectful service - to everyone who enters; family and black-owned. - a nice selection of delicious flavors; some well-trod for those with simpler tastes (My mom loves the Butter Pecan) - along with some great, more unique offerings you will not find everywhere. A friend of ours, loves the Blueberry ice cream they have. Two of My favorites, are the Lemon Cheesecake (lemony, with actual chunks of lemon cheesecake - crust and all!) and Peanut Putter Paradise (mini chocolate peanut butter cups & dollop-swirls of peanut butter). In a waffle cone, of course. Always in a waffle cone. :) - they allow free sampling, to help you make your choice; a necessary and helpful function, because no one is trying to get stuck with something that doesn't resonate, or they don't like; although in this case - the problem is WHICH ONE OF THESE DELICIOUS THINGS DO I GET...?! Lol - high-quality, DELICIOUS ice cream - with all the right flavor pairings and profiles; the right balance of richness, creaminess, etc. No shortcuts, no stingy aspects (elements barely there, like you find in the usual commercial offerings). - an amazing selection of choices of other ice cream and associated offerings...many we have yet to get to, ourselves; I welcome the challenge. Haha - competitively and reasonably priced; especially given the quality of product, service, and atmosphere - as well as the serving size (they are not stingy about it). - everything you could possibly need during your ice cream adventure, is there. Napkins (nice, thick, quilted, absorbent ones!), utensils, hand sanitizer, cups and machine for good-tasting, cold water. From start to finish, it is so very obvious that so much love, intention, and vision went into the creation and construction of every detail of this place. They really invested everything. I cannot praise this place, enough. I don't do flattery. All of this is real - no hyperbole. 10/10 - would DEFINITELY recommend.

The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I recommend the Socotra latte if it's your first time as it is their signature drink and reminds me of a gingerbread latte. This is a great place to study or hangout with friends. There's plenty of space and very comfortable seating! There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!
